Is there any book on prestige, pride or honor out there that actually give clues as to what these concepts represent or why they are valuable ? Like why does one seek those things ?
read works by old Roman writers, or Homer's The Iliad.

they are not valuable, they are value
You'll want to read some Romans OP, or early stoic writers in general.
I have yet to be convinced that it's anything more than a Greco Roman cultural artefact, preserved only because until the renaissance they were the primary source of philosophy being generated/continuously read as a baseline in all education

A similar question was asked some time ago in a philosophy teachers' group. Someone said that "The Honor Code: How Moral Revolutions Happen" by Kwame Anthony Appiah is very clear, rich, excellent. I haven't read it, but the guy talking about it was quite convinving (and it looked like he had founded some holy grail).

Plutarch' Lives and Moralia

I am a man ignorant on such matters. Help me understand what you mean by honor and maybe we can discover the meaning together. What does it mean to be honorable?
